Newborn, on the naked sand Nakedly lay it. Next to the earth mother, That it may know her; Having good thoughts of her, the food giver. Newborn, we tenderly In our arms take it, Make good thoughts. House-god, be entreated, That it may grow from childhood to manhood, Happy, contented; Beautifully walking The trail to old age. Having good thoughts of the earth its mother, That she may give it the fruits of her being. Newborn, on the naked sand Nakedly lay it. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLROOM DARK by CLARENCE MAJOR MIDSUMMER FROST (1) by ISAAC ROSENBERG SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 1 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THE BLIND BOY by COLLEY CIBBER ELEGY: 16.
